Final Flashcards
Enthalpy (H)
Heat content / the sum of the system’s internal energy
Entropy (S)
A measure of randomness
Gibbs free energy equation
G = H - TS
T = Temp in K
G is a measure of relative chemical stability for a phase
Coefficient of isothermal compressibility
dV/dP
Heat Capacity
dS/dT @ constant pressure Cp
Effects of P and T changes
High P prefers low volume
High Temp favors high randomness
Phase
Any homogeneous region, characterized by certain intensive properties # of region don't matter, # of kinds do
J. Williard Gibbs (1839-1903)
One of the greatest American scientists of the 19th century
Provided thermodynamic foundation to much
of Physical Chemistry
Degrees of freedom
The number of intensive parameters that must be specified in order to completely determine the system
The phase rule
f = c - p + 2
